Jeffrey St. Clair on his voting, 2024
+ Cockburn used to say, vote for whoever makes you happy, knowing that the vote-counting machines will probably record it for someone you despise. So I filled out my ballot, though not very joyfully, and drove to the drop-off site in our little mill town, where the ballot box was being “monitored” by four MAGA people, adorned in their red hats, who, undeterred by the drenching rain, recorded my arrival on their cellphones and asked to see my ID, a request I replied to with a customary Mexican gesture, as I told them I’d left my papers back in Juarez. Hasta la vista, muchachos.
+ They must be apprehensive about how I was casting my vote for Soil and Water Conservation District #2 Commissioner.

+ In the spirit of “bi-partisanship,” Biden kept Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General, with entirely predictable results: Coos County, Oregon Clerk Julie Brecke said Tuesday that the coastal county has experienced “unexplained delays” in ballot mailing due to an error from the U.S. Postal Service.
+ A Florida man was arrested after he threatened two women Kamala Harris supporters–one 71, the other 52– with a machete outside a polling place at the Jacksonville Public Library.
+ Can Harris have a closing argument for her campaign, if she never had an opening one?
+ Just when Harris’s poll numbers in Michigan began to improve, she sent Bill Clinton to scold Arab-American voters in the state: "I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died — I get that, but…Hamas makes sure that they’re shielded by civilians, they’ll force you to kill civilians, if you want to defend yourself. I got news for [Hamas]—[Israelis] were there first before their faith existed.” Bill used to know better, but now he’s just lazy, woozy and vain.
+ Take it from the man who bombed an aspirin factory in Sudan to divert attention from his own sex scandal…
